Betsy Stark and Diann Lewis Bishop are two of our new instructors who will be joining us here at the craft center. Betsy is a seasoned teacher/ artist who will be sharing her knowledge on the simple yet eye catching ways to design handmade cards perfect for any occasion. Rubber stamps, decorative paper, heavy card stock and elegant envelopes make these cards beautiful and unique. Also joining us is internationally recognized artist Diann Lewis Bishop, who has taught over twenty years. Diann excels in many art forms, however specializes in under painting like the Dutch Masters. Diann will offer both day and evening classes in a variety of different medias ranging from pastels, to color wheel theory, and various painting techniques.
